JIMMY FALLON f. THE ROOTS & JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - HISTORY OF RAP (VIDEO)

I actually wanted to see this last night but forgot about it somehow...for now I'll blame H.O.P.E.; anyways this was pretty entertaining as well as dope.  I'm convinced Justin may ghostwrite for a few rappers these days because he's more hip hop than this younger generation believes they are.  This clip also reminds me of a skit Justin was in where he crip walked...who's seen that?  Anyways have a small chuckle during the day and enjoy this one.

CLIPSE x THE ROOTS ON JIMMY FALLON (VIDEO)

Why I can't find the Popular Demand performance on Jimmy Fallon's show's site or Hulu....? Not really sure, but I'll be okay with this.  As should you.  And I'm going to need the mp3 version of Popular Demand with Black Thought.  I mean his verse or Cam's...yeah, exactly.

The Roots - Silent Treatment
by UniversalMusicGroup

So they actually got me out on the basketball court yesterday as I got in some runs with Thurzday, Skeme & Justin from them 4th Quarter boys.  HOPE was supposed to be in effect but he ended up having some work to do...a good look that I'll be able to tell you about soon.  As we hooped Thurzday decided on the Throwback...and here it is, Silent Treatment by The Roots.  Enjoy, you know The Roots had a huge influence on how UNI came to be...and if you haven't downloaded it yet, A Love Supreme is here.

THROWBACK THURZDAYS - WHAT THEY DO

The Roots - New Music - More Music Videos

It's Thursday, so you know what pops over here...THURZDAY picks the throwback track(s) or video(s) and I post.  This is one of my favorite Roots' tracks ever, off that Illadelph Halflife..and if you know UNI then you know the significance of that album to the Inglewood duo.  A Love Supreme on the way...

J*Davey - SLOOOOWWWW

Swiped this over at *M's spot...if u've never been there before GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!  This is that track that Tomas Whitmore (KREAM, Beautiful Day, Soul Hop) directed the video for.  Notice that guy on drums in the background. Check it out.

NEW VENUES - VERSUS

Now if you want to stay near USC after the show, a new club is opening downtown...after i actually get more pics or actually go there I can elaborate on how cool or uncool this place really is. Right now it's cool (and ironic) that it is the former Stock Exchange Building. The stock market sucks might as well turn it into a place traders can come and drink away their pain. It's 35,000 square feet and encompasses 3 levels that almost serve as 3 nightclubs in one. The 3rd floor is being marketed as the celeb and A List lounge...or people with charm and connects aka money & groupies. Versus' opening Friday night will be for Fashion Week and will feature ?uestlove & Travis McCoy (Gym Class Heroes). It will also as a voter registration party. For more info check out the club's website.

2NITE - WHERE 2 BE...

?uestlove - Sittin on Dem Gold 1's

No it's not ?uestlove's attempt at a pop/club banger...it's the other Air Force 1 collabo. I showed details of the red toe versions a few days ago. Well here are details of the "Gold Toe". I think I like these better now after seeing these pics. Snagged the photos from Okayplayer.
